_________________________

Bulldog is a vertically scrolling shooter. Piloting a small ship, your goal is to blast your way through enemy defenses to destroy the mother ship. Your enemy, the POLON's, have heavily reinforced the path you must take: on each level you may encounter up to seven types of firing installations as well as various walls which will block your progress. Crash into a wall or get hit by enemy fire and you lose a ship; the game ends when all of your reserve ships have been lost. At the end of each level you will face a mothership; to destroy this you will need to take out all of the guns and other installations located on the ship after which you continue on to the next, more difficult level. Your ship is equipped with lasers to destroy obstacles, and additional powerups can be located along the way. Extra speed, extra firepower, repeat fire, bombs, and other bonuses can be picked up to help you out.

Description from the packaging:

For eons our small colony has struggled to penetrate the outer POLON defenses. Alas, countless deaths attest to the futility of our attempts.

But we must persist. For somewhere, deep within enemy lines, lies the Mothership. The scourge of our universe. And until we destroy her, we are nothing more than slaves.

What was that you muttered? You'd like to give it a shot? My foolish friend. The POLON weaponry goes on forever. At best, you'll face layer after layer of resistance. Even if you somehow build up your ship's power and speed enough to teleport across their system, there's no telling what you'll face once you annihilate the tyrant vessel.

Frankly, my naive hero, pilots much more skilled than you have never come back.

But of course they wouldn't listen either.

As you blast the Mothership you'll have to destroy control towers, tankers and enemy radar jammers.

It's do or die when you finally encounter the Mothership. Your mission: Waste her.
